So, as most of you who know me, I try to get the maximum looks out of my builds, with minimum cost....this Robinson build is no different.

I wanted a rear caliper in red on it, and after seeing a thread of Andy's (DTTDB), where he'd bought some paint and got his wheels done, I decided that this was the way to go for me.

A already had a spare copy MX1000, which is a front - the rear had been used on a race bike, so it was surplus, and didn't matter if I fooked it up. I have a spare rear spindle, so I ordered the paint off eBay (£12 posted), and went for it.

The caliper is raw alloy, I don't think lacquered, so took the gamble of not prepping it.

I whacked the first coat on about 10 mins ago, it will get a couple more, and a coat of lacquer, or 2.

Remember to stick the bits in an oven at 100c for an hour or it will chip off like crazy.
